Titan, Solana’s first meta-decentralized alternate aggregator, has launched its beta platform, giving non-public entry to a choose group of customers.
In response to a Mar. 23 press release, Titan operates as a layer above customary DEX aggregators like Jupiter (JUP) and DFlow. To make sure merchants obtain the very best value with no charges, it aggregates quotes from all out there DEX aggregators somewhat than simply sourcing liquidity from completely different DEXs.
Along with aggregation, Titan introduces Talos, a proprietary routing algorithm that, in response to the press launch, outperforms opponents 80% of the time. In comparison with present Solana (SOL) options, Talos analyzes extra liquidity sources and optimizes routing at a granular stage to reinforce commerce execution.
Quote slippage attributable to execution delays is a serious drawback with on-chain swaps. As a result of Solana transactions take round 10 seconds (25 blocks) to finish, the value might fluctuate earlier than the commerce is executed. Titan needs to handle this challenge by constantly updating quotes in real-time to offer merchants with essentially the most correct pricing.
“Titan’s intention is to offer DeFi merchants with the very best costs whereas abstracting away the complexity concerned. At the moment, crypto buying and selling lags behind conventional markets in its order placement design. It’s time for us to improve our infrastructure and shut this hole, and that’s what Titan is designed to do.”
— Chris Chung, CEO and co-founder of Titan
